This half day activity includes both local wet market walking tour and a cooking class. During the class, you will learn to cook 3 Chinese dishes, (2 persons per team, all hands on), to be followed by a demonstration dish towards the end. The customers will get to relax and enjoy all the different dishes cooked afterward. This is a great introduction to Chinese culinary culture!
This is a highly customize course! Unless the customers do not specify what they want to learn, we make recommendations to our customers what dishes to cook to fit their taste preference and also to make sure they can get all the key ingredients for the dishes we teach them when they are back home.
We are located in a commercial building with around 4000 sq ft area. Our facility has all the equipment that one sees in any upscale commercial kitchen. That said, we will teach you how to adopt your cooking process for the average domestic kitchen. Come sign up if you like to explore Chinese cooking!

Outstanding Tour & Cooking Class

5.00Great experience all the way around. Bill was our tour guide & chef. Starting out, the communication regarding the class, where to meet, etc.. was proactive and much appreciated. The we market tour was really interesting, and along the way Bill shared interesting facts about Hong Kong as well. The market was just a short walk to the cooking studio, which was professional and very large. Bill demonstrated each dish (4 - BBQ pork ribs, stir fried French green beans, dumplings, and fried rice), then students prepared each dish and then we all ate lunch. There was plenty of food and was absolutely delicious. We had a GREAT time! Highly recommend!
Great experience

5.00My daughter and I had a great time with Bill who was knowledgeable and interesting. We first visited the wet market, then went to his kitchen where he first demonstrated and then we got a chance to cook….and eat! Everything was delicious! Bill even provided boxes for us to take home leftover food. We would recommend this experience.

5.00Excellent experience. Logistics very well organized, starting from the market tour until the cooking in a master chef looking kitchen. Bill has plenty of stories to tell, lets peope ask and experiment, and can make people feel relaxed and at ease. We will return home with three new dishes to cook. Highly recommended.
Fun cooking

4.00It’s always great to get to know a culture through their food, and Pots and Pans provided just that! Bill is very knowledgeable and the cooking studio is well-equipped. Would like to make some more complicated dishes next time!
A delicious way to learn about Hong Kong culture, history and food

5.00Fantastic experience, highly recommended! Our guide, Bill, is knowledgeable about Hong Kong and regional culture, history and food. We learned so much through out the guided walking tour and the in-studio cooking session. Bill’s pace was just right for our group, and he provided in-depth answers to our questions. Bill’s studio is beautifully laid out and clean, and the dishes we cooked were simple yet delicious and included a vegan dish as well. We kept the recipes, so we will be making these again! Bill even helped with the behind-the-scene with Viator wrt to booking changes. However, Viator customer service seems to be on the slow side, so we worked out that we had to actually cancel and re-book to adjust the number of participants. This is a bit inconvenient as it *seemed* as we could just make booking changes. Fortunately, we had started the communication about the booking changes before the no-cancellation date. Overall, you will not regret booking this cooking experience!
Great cooking class experience

5.00Bill made the food tour cooking class really special and memorable. All of the things we cooked were customisable for dietary requirements and Bill even offered some expert opinions for flavour combinations that worked really well. His studio is immaculate and we loved everything about it. Would highly recommend!!
